Are there other rights that should be addressed regarding the U.S. Governments use of non-government works?
Yes, these may include the rights of privacy and publicity. For example, a release should be sought in all cases where a person’s voice or recognizable image will be included in the Government work. While a release may have been obtained for one purpose, it may not necessarily cover additional uses. If authorization to use a picture or video for government purposes is obtained, use for non-governmental purposes may require additional authorization. For example, if a picture or video is being provided to a commercial firm for commercial use, the original release may not apply. Your General Counsel should review the original release.
